While the popular hangover cure "hair of the dog" (aka drinking more alcohol to combat all your symptoms) is definitely not scientifically proven, three bartenders swear by it. In a new video from GQ, three bartenders from trendy New York bars reveal their top tip for beating your worst hangover: a michelada. For those not in the know, that's a drink made with beer, spices, and tomato juice.

Bartender Steve Schneider from Employees Only swears by a no-frills michelada to perk you right up after a long night. His recommendation: Take half a glass of ice-cold beer, like a pilsner, and slowly add tomato juice to it. Add a sprinkle of salt and some fresh-squeezed lime, cracked pepper, and a dash of hot sauce. "You could probably use some water and some sleep, or some tea, or something like that," he adds.

Jim Kearns from Slowly Shirley calls his recommended cure "a full regimen of fluids and food." You start off by drinking a lot of water. Then enjoy a cup of coffee, because "that's always a good idea." Then comes a very scary drink that is intended to be gulped down—not for sipping. What's in this monstrous concoction? A raw egg, then tomato juice or Bloody Mary mix, a long pour of a light drinking beer, and a lemon wedge to finish it off. The last element of the hangover cure? A huge burger.

Finally, Jason Dyer from Beauty & Essex shares his own play on the michelada. His recipe involves mezcal, lime juice, Bloody Mary mix, and Pacifico beer.
